Mail::...Missing(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderFromMissing — it's the Mail::...Missing(3pm) page 💅 and it's a milter that straight up rejects messages that are missing a From: header. no From:, no entry, periodt. 🚫💌

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderFromMissing;

my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderFromMissing();

my $milter2 = &HeaderFromMissing; # convenience

see how easy that is?? literally two ways to spin it up, and one of them is just the bare function name because the module said "let me make this convenient for u" 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — this milter module rejects any message at the DATA stage if it's missing the From: header. like, at that point in the convo it just goes nope, not today. 😭

and honestly? that header should never be absent on any message. ever. not even a little bit. even if that message is also missing Date: or Subject: — From: is the one that has to be there. it's the main character of headers, fr fr 👑

so yeah, if Date: and Subject: ghosted you too, that's a different conversation. From: being gone is the dealbreaker here. 💀
